The cycle took place across four days last August, bringing over 120 cyclists through the six counties of Munster, finishing on Cork's St. Patrick's Hill.

Speaking at the cheque presentation, Paul Sheridan, founder of the Tour de Munster said: “We have enjoyed an incredible 19 years, raising vital funds and awareness for some fantastic charities along the way. I never imagined in 2001 that we would be here today, having raised over €3 million. The hard work and dedication from so many people and their communities have been truly amazing and none of this would be possible without their support."

The funds raised for the Munster branches of DSI will be shared among the six branches to fund services for people with Down Syndrome. The individual groups that benefited from the 2019 Tour de Munster are West Cork Down Syndrome Support Group, Enable Ireland, Bothar, Irish Cancer Society and Friendly Call Cork.
